The 2026 Toyota GR Supra is a sports car that combines performance and driver involvement. With its 382-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission, it's clear that the GR Supra is all about performance and driver involvement. The GR Supra's swoopy styling hews to a more modern and lively aesthetic than its Bavarian cousin, the BMW Z4 convertible, but the rest of the car utilizes the engine and most of the mechanical bits from the BMW.
Although most drivers will find enough interior room, it can be tight for drivers on the larger side—but that's true of competitors like the Nissan Z and Lotus Emira too. The GR Supra requires you to fold yourself in an ungainly manner to enter, but those gymnastics will be but a distant memory as soon as the road opens, your eyes find the next turn, and you dip into the prodigious power for a little motorized me time.

Featuring a host of tweaks to separate it from its siblings, the MkV Final Edition includes revised mapping for the differential, larger Brembo brake discs, stiffened suspension bushings, and a specific tune for the adaptive dampers. Cosmetic updates include new 19-inch matte black wheels, a gloss-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler and carbon fiber mirror caps plus distinctive "GR" embroidery on the driver's seat, red seatbelts, and accent stitching.
If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years. A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new. Though we've always been fans of the base 3.0 trim, something about “Final Edition” tells us that the GR Supra might not be around much longer. So, we feel that springing for the MkV Final Edition is a worthy expenditure if you can swing it.
Performance from the 382-hp turbocharged inline six-cylinder has never been in question, and it remains the sole engine option for 2026. Even better, it can be had with your choice of a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission across the board, including the new MkV Final Edition. While the automatic may be quicker, statistics can't fully communicate the engaging and rewarding driving experience facilitated by a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
